What periods do these pieces cover?

The works span from the early decades of the twentieth century through to the 1960s. Major movements represented include expressionism, cubism and mid-century modernism. Dates are established through signatures, stylistic evidence and documentation associated with individual artists and print runs.

Are these works original or prints?

The selection includes both original oil paintings executed directly on canvas or paper and published lithographic art prints. Each listing specifies the exact medium used. Original paintings exist as single unique items, whilst prints form part of numbered or designated editions.

How should I care for oil on canvas?

Oil paintings require stable indoor humidity and protection from direct sunlight to prevent the canvas and paint from degrading. Dusting should be undertaken gently with a soft, dry brush. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners on the painted surface.

How do I identify a mid-century piece?

Mid-century works typically display abstract forms, non-naturalistic colour palettes and a focus on structural composition rather than strict realism. The materials and framing often align with post-war European design. Signatures and dates on the reverse or front provide further confirmation of the period.
